I see my udi's question was skipped over :lol:

Not skipping just thinking. We have had them. They are fine. Not fabulous. If you put enough toppings on them, they will be good. If you want less toppings and a more bready crust, you might not like them. We liked the Kinnickick crusts better. It's all a personal preference.

SIL is garnet too and she feels ripped off!

 

My kids are two diamonds and one citrine -- makes an awesome mothers ring...I've got two clear cz eternity bands with a citrine cz band sandwiched in there -- hubs is under instruction to get me a real set - one of these days -- for now this set sparkles at me nicely.

 

My mother has a garnet ring and it is quite beautiful. Maybe it's the setting?

Her Mother's ring is the reverse---two citrines (AKA topaz)  and a diamond. I do not like my birthstone at all . I'm not the diamond. LOL

although, I am her favorite, I am sure.

I can honestly say I was not impressed by them,  hon.

 

K!! I am sure I would like your tortilla soup.

Well, between me and the kids I have a choice of peridot, opal and turquoise or zircon.

I have them all separately, but not together. Not sure that would work at all. Maybe I can find alternatives on other websites :)

I have lost enough weight that my wedding and engagement rings are trying to fall off, so I am wearing a smaller one to hold them on. Maybe I need new jewels when I reach my target.

I am going to try not to buy more black clothes as I need smaller ones. I am broadly autumn shades by choice.

I had to have my wedding ring and engagement rings re-sized when I dropped 90 lbs. ...but new jewels are always in order!

No more black, navy, or dark brown. ok? ...you're a NEW you! ( and yes, these were my colors for years).

I have on RED right now :)

i buy the udi's crust - they are 'ok' in a pinch (and that reminds me, irish, didn't you say you had a good pizza crust recipe?  i'm on a dough roll - get it?  dough?  roll...?  *snort* haha i crack myself up) but i tend to use them for other things - pita bread for gyros, sometimes i cut them into wedges and put oil & spices on them for bruschetta, you know, stuff like that.  i did make an awesome smoked salmon pizza on them one time  :)  i think i may have cut them into pieces and put butter and cinnamon sugar on them, too ?  i keep 'em around, but not so much for pizza.

I was a black, navy, brown with light accent for the past 15 years as i bloated up like a balloon...now i'm wearing ALL bright colors and loving it...my professional clothes go to Autumn, but my exercise wear (daily norm) is black or grey leggings with bright bold colors on top -- no more boring for me - no way, no how!

 

Tortilla Soup sounds yummy...just bought pork roast for extra large batch of Carnitas on Cinco de Mayo -- I love May -- didn't for a few years but 'tis fun this year....Celiac Awareness, National Bike Challenge, Cinco de Mayo, Tour of California (we are camping to watch the top riders in the world pedal past my camp spot -- not sure I can take it), Mother's Day and me Birthday -- yep -- May is going to be great!!!!!

Geez, so many topics to cover.... My favorite color is red, although it irks me to

no end that the color I look best in is pink. I love yellow and green but can't wear

them as my skin is remarkably yellow and it makes me look like I'm dying a slow

death. :huh:  My birthstone is diamonds, so that's nice. :D

 

My favorite frozen pizza crust is most definitely the Against the Grain one. You

gotta have a pizza stone to put it on or it gets all soggy though. I have had the

Kinnikinnick ones and they are pretty good. I'm going to try taking Addy's cheese

bread that I turn into crepes and put them on the pizza stone and see if they make

pizza crust- update to follow soon I hope! If it works I'd imagine they would freeze

quite nicely for homemade frozen pizza crusts.

what's mine is yours, dear girl. ;)  I did print off the "my Mom and I are G F" banner and sent it to my Mom. She'll get a kick out of it and stick it on her fridge. Thanks for the link to that site.

 

Tonight is going to be tricky. No pizza. yes, that's right.... Friday night pizza night has been set aside while

some of us try to ditch the excess carbs in favor of "svelte".....I'll have to do some thinking.....

How would you guys go about making something similar to a tomato free lasagna?

I would make a "white" lasagne with bechamel sauce and spinach. Just leave out the toms.

of course, sub in gluten-free noodles and flour and you're good to go!

That first one looks lovely. I might do that one this weekend :) It also looks like i can play with it a bit as well (subbing for this or that). Thanks!

 I've made them with lots of veggies and no tom sauce and honestly, I like it better than "conventional Lasagne"

Hope you like it!!

I hope so. It was one of my favorite meals when i was younger. :)

That is a beautiful lasagna! I don't do the spinach thing, but I could make it with asparagus. I don't know that I'll even every try spinach again, it frankly scares the crap out of me as it is what set me off in the first place last summer. Okay. Maybe no one should eat 4 pounds of spinach in a week. But it is so good and I couldn't help myself.

 

Tonight I am just going to finish off that little tiny turkey roast from last night with some veggies. I was in bed by midnight and up at 8:30 but just had no spunk. I putzed around and did some chores and went back to bed until 2.

Sub in swiss chard. Eat the chard sauteed in garlic and EVOO...you won't care if you ever eat spinach again.

I've still got some in the freezer i need to eat. I've yet to reintroduce it. :unsure:

 

I picked up some broccoli at the store, i'm thinking of subbing that into it.

Adalaide Mentor

I can't do anything dark green and leafy. Complicates things for me quite a bit. No swiss chard, spinach, kale, or a dozen other delicious things. <_< I suppose I could try to find out if swiss chard will play nice with me, although I don't hold out much hope for leafy green things.

Well, tonight I have 8(!) little girls in my house. smh. I must be crazy, but littlest wanted a sleepover. My husband is hiding somewhere -- haven't seen him in hours, ha. I think he's locked himself in the bedroom reading. So . . . tonight GLUTEN entered the house. I bought mini cupcakes and real pizza for the sleepover crew, while celiac daughter & I ate gluten-free pizza and gluten-free cupcakes. We usually make the crust using pamelas mix, but not really following the directions (they don't work right!), but tonight I talked the Domino's manager into selling me a package of his gluten-free crusts without letting the workers handle them in any way. ha. They have a policy of not allowing anything to sell that is not cooked, but after I explained my concerns about cross contamination, he said he could make an exception for that. Got them pretty cheap, too! Good to know we can use those on days when I don't have time to make the crust, sauce, and toppings. ha.

 

Best part of the day so far -- my husband ate the "real" pizza and said that he definitely prefers the gluten-free ones we make ourselves!!! Whoa! Between that and the discovery of Perdue gluten-free chicken tenders today, I'm on cloud 9. Also, the closest walmart just started carrying Udi's products -- cookies, bagels, sandwich bread, I bought one of each!

yes, I always use broc on white pizza or in lasagne....go for it!

Tonight is burgers and fries. I was going to do chicken nuggets but I just can't make up my mind about what kind of sauce I want! I'm far too lazy to make my own nuggets and haven't had any in over a year. Now I feel like Christmas morning. I think I'm leaning towards a spicy mustard berry sauce. Even if that will earn me a weird look from my husband. :lol:

hey!  that's a great idea!  how did it turn out?  how was the crust - what would you compare it to?  thin crust? squishy? fluffy?

 

my daughter's friend used to be the manager of our local domino's - i bet she could get them to sell to me...  :)

      My old results (almost a year ago) are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   During the challenge I ate 6 slices of wheat bread. After the challenge my results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   To be sure I continued consuming gluten. I ate a lot each day. Two months after I did the tests again. My results I got today are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.7 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.62 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 25.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   I didn't have any symptoms now except tiredness but I think it's just work. I'm not IgA deficient as you can see so I don't need to do this Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG test. But I do because it's sometimes not in the normal range. What do you think this time? I think I don't have celiac disease. But this test...

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.
    • trents
      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.
    • knitty kitty
      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).
